Beware the man who faces you unarmed.
If in his eyes you are not the target,
then you can be sure you are the weapon.”

“Until one comes who is mightier,
The one sprung from misery,
The one who was weak,
The one who was hunted,
The one marked with claw and vine,
The one named in secret,
The one called Jezelia.”
